[Az-Geocaching] Gas prices

[Mike Ingoglia]

Brian always has to over analyze things...  There are several other
advantages to the bigger tank other than saving fuel.  I'm looking at
getting a bigger tank primarily for longer range... getting cheaper fuel (in
my opinion) would be a side benefit....  I'm looking at purchasing a 98gal
bed mounted fuel tank for the sole purpose of not having to refill so often.
I have a unique situation however... I pull a large trailer and it would be
nice to travel anywhere I travel without ever having to worry about filling
up while connected to the trailer.  For example, on busy weekends at the
dunes the few stations that both have diesel and can handle a large trailer
have H U G E lines... it would be great to be able to fill up before the
trip and come straight home.

Hmmm... if I had a 98 gallon fuel tank... plus my 37 gallon truck tank.... I
could drive all of the way to the east coast (from AZ) without filling up...
:-)  I hate filling up on road trips.
